Halloween costumes 2014: TV edition

Polyvore.com, ABC

Screenwriter Shonda Rhimes—the real leader of the free world--has created so many female characters to look up to, but none of them are quite like Olivia Pope. A fierce pants suit, power heels and an (ir)reverence for the Oval Office—you will never be Olivia Pope, but with the right attitude, you'll be one hell of a gladiator this Halloween. Take one gulp, look at that finished tequila shot and say, "It's handled!" You won't even need the lime. *chills*

Don't rely on a man to bring you a rose! Bring your own. The floor-length formal gown, paired with heels you'll inevitably trip down the sidewalk in, will do wonders while you're searching the city for a sig. other. Bets on the one in the Spiderman costume.

Let's be real, we're already thinking about Halloween. This year, let's skip the typical banana suit or superhero costume. Don't you want to go as your favorite Shonda Rhimes gladiator? Or a Ron Swason meat-loving wannabe? Or take to the bar dressed as everyone's favorite big-booty selfie addict (...one guess as to who that one is)?

We thought so. Let's help you make 2014 the year you win most kickass costume. Because you will, and you're welcome.
